It is interesting to follow how long it takes for generations of cars to fall out of favor, and lose value. As you point out, there probably isn't a huge market for Model Ts.
I'd imagine the same thing is true from the cars of the 30s and 40s. ??
So then the cars of the 50s and 60s will be next, or are those "different"? I wonder, for example, if there will be a significant decline in the price of 356s, or early 911s, and when will that be? (It seems like 356 has been softening already).

I would not be too worried about the early Porsche's...they have a global cache and demand... There were not a lot of them made where time and attrition has taken their toll.
As with every collectible in the collectible market it is like the tide it comes in and is high and other times it goes out and recedes a bit... Some times values get ahead o themselves and it take some time to consolidate...either by plateauing or receding a bit..then after a bit of time...it moves up again.
Some collectibles are FADS...hot for awhile and then drop off the face of the earth.
Early Porsche's do not fit that scenario.
Low production muscle cars...I would think also have an iconic cache...and on going value.
As with anything one has to be knowledgeable and discerning as to where you put your money.
Lower end art (under 5K) has been relatively soft since the RE crash...it is mostly decorative in nature. but it ain't a Thomas Kincaide.
If you have to ask these questions you do not know what you are doing and might as well keep your cash under the mattress because you are a RUBE.
